Legislation Restricting Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Harms Nursing Workforce Development
Webinar Details
Several legislative bills are being introduced within state legislatures that educators and healthcare providers may not be aware of or how to respond to. Yet, these bills can have an enormous effect on admissions, academic curricula, policy, and programs. This webinar helps academic leaders, faculty, and other stakeholders identify actionable steps that can be taken to thwart bills that aim to prevent Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) education
Objectives:
- Discuss state legislative trends impacting academic curricula, policies, and programs relevant to diversity, equity, inclusion, and the population鈥檚 health.
- Identify three action steps that can be taken to impede diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives that negatively impact population health, academic freedom, and free speech.
